Ch'ing Cash: ?Volume 1--Ch'ing Cash; Volume 2--Ch'ing Cash Year Tables [two-volume set]

Ch'ing Cash is a monumental two-volume set detailing the history of Ch'ing cash coins. The first volume lists the development of Ch'ing cash, its manufacture, and the stages from ivory trial pieces to final product. Werner Burger has developed a novel way for numismatics to present the coins, arranging each coin by individual mint and year produced, which has led to several unexpected discoveries. The second volume contains the rubbings of more than 6,000 coins in 53 large foldout charts. Each coin includes a rarity index and number. In addition, Burger has compiled a list of all coins cast by every mint from 1736 until 1911.
